"Democracy" at work, everyone. Just as the founders intended.
Yes, it is a tad long, but after two years, what’s 28 minutes more? Besides, it’s worth it just to savor the schadenfreude sundae at the end when Vice President Cankles has to read the results.
If you are pressed for time, Ari has posted the Cliff Notes.

We won!!
yes, we did.
I just hope the new folks in charge are able and willing to restore the Constitution or the next time the criminal cabal is in power, the Republic may not survive.
i am watchin it ALL. thank god for c-span. all this mumbo jumbo needs to be seen to be believed.
No coup… now we see reaching across the aisle despite a comfortable majority, May we have new leadership without magic underwear?
only thing i will add is that the mic feed is not exact to what is spoken.
the coup is that the 8 years of coup is now over
now to break ground, rebuilding that which has been torn down
it’s a sobering thing to watch. rule of law, rule of law. until darth @ 2730 said those words it really was not official. that is what those thugs have done to this country. may it never happen again.
if they are not brought to justice then it WILL happen again, of this be certain
I just want to point out that there were plenty of people here ranting about a coup and all that bullshit.
it will be easy compared with the shrub admin. my worry right now is people on the left have no time for the natural process.
frankly speaking there is still a chance of martial law, if that’s what you mean. it ain’t over till it’s over (berra)
what do you mean ranting ravin, this has BEEN 8 years of a coup, I do believe knowledge and warning is the only thing that kept us from another 4 years of that coup
There’s a chance the world will end right after dinner. If you want to spend your time worrying about that kind of stuff, jam on.
californiacheck, if anything those like myself who made others brutally aware of the possible surely became one of the tools that made it improbable
yea yea, they were going to suspend the election, just like they are going to south america, whatever
you can prepare for the worst while hoping for the best, ifnormation is inoculation and that is our charge raven, or at least it’s been mine
let’s move on, finally a new president
I been prepared homie
yo, raven!
of course, we all have our thresholds of tollerance for various abuses. just bc it has not happened here doesn’t mean that it can’t happen here. to disregard those possibilities is a mistake, imo. rock on.
the future’s uncertain
and the end is always near

A sweet moment. Now to boo Chimpy and Pickles off the inaugural platform and back to Texas.
BTW, I hope somebody checks John Howard’s luggage before he departs Blair House.

acknowledging the possibility does not mean we put aside the necessity of discernment. in other words, just because a thing is possible it does not follow that it is likely.
hey, great point. i’ll go with my gut over statistics everytime if my life is concerned. you do what you want. no problem.
I watched every minute of it. Long, historic and a wee bit thrilling, I must admit. (sniff!)
Awesome moment in our history! Thanks so much for posting this video. I loved watching Dick talking with a crow sticking out of his lipstick lined mouth!
